Laowa 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt Shift 0.5x Macro Announced

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 25, 2025

Laowa 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt Shift 0.5x Macro:
Venus Optics / B&H Photo / Amazon

Laowa’s New Tilt-Shift Lens — 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt Shift 0.5x Macro — Take Control of Every Line & Perspective

Anhui, China – November 25, 2025 – Anhui ChangGeng Optical Technology Company Limited (Venus Optics), a leading innovator in camera lens design, proudly announces the launch of its groundbreaking Laowa 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt-Shift 0.5× Macro lens. This versatile new optic empowers photographers with unparalleled creative and technical control, blending wide-angle perspective, tilt-shift functionality, and macro capabilities into a single, compact tool.

Designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras and also compatible with GFX/XCD medium-format systems, the Laowa 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt-Shift 0.5× Macro redefines precision imaging. Photographers can now take command of every line and perspective, from architectural grandeur to intricate tabletop scenes at an affordable price of USD 1,249.

Unrivaled Tilt & Shift Control

Full Frame Systems: Offers an expansive ±10° of tilt for precise plane of focus manipulation and ±12mm of shift for advanced perspective correction.
Medium Format Systems (GFX/XCD): Delivers ±10° of tilt and a robust ±8mm of shift, providing critical control without noticeable vignetting. These movements enable photographers to correct converging verticals in architecture, create stunning miniature effects, achieve extended depth of field across vast landscapes, and minimize reflections, all directly in-camera.

Zero-D (Zero Distortion) Optical Design
As part of Laowa’s renowned Zero-D line, the 35mm f/2.8 ensures virtually no optical distortion, delivering perfectly straight lines crucial for architectural and interior photography. Its APO (Apochromatic) design further eliminates chromatic aberration, guaranteeing superior image quality and edge-to-edge sharpness across its broad 87.5° angle of view.

Exceptional Macro Capabilities
With an impressive 0.5x maximum magnification and a minimum focusing distance of just 22.8 cm (the closest in its class for tilt-shift lenses), this lens excels in macro photography. This close-focus ability, combined with tilt-shift movements, opens new avenues for detailed product shots, creative tabletop photography, and unique close-ups.

Versatile for Diverse Applications
The fast f/2.8 aperture provides excellent low-light performance, making it ideal for night scenes, long exposures, and indoor shooting. Its unique combination of features makes it a versatile companion for architectural, landscape, product, and fine art photographers seeking to push creative boundaries

Seamless Photo Stitching and Panoramic Imaging
Using the shift function, panoramas can be created with ease through photo stitching.

Photographer-Centric Design

Built-in 77mm Filter Thread: Offers practical and cost-effective filter use without bulky adapters.

Adjustable Tilt-Shift Direction: Provides flexible composition adjustments with 15° clicks for precise control.

Integrated Arca-Swiss Lens Support: A detachable support allows for quick and secure mounting to tripods, crucial for precise tilt-shift work.

Frog-Eye Coating: The front element features Laowa’s water and dirt-repellent coating for easy cleaning and reliable performance in challenging environments.

Pricing & Availability:
The Laowa 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt-Shift 0.5× Macro will be available for purchase starting November 25, 2025, through the Venus Optics official website (https://www.venuslens.net/) and authorized resellers. The U.S. retail price is USD 1,249.
